What lessons has Karissa Fox learned from living with chronic illnesses?

Living with chronic illnesses has taught me several important lessons. One of the most significant is the value of presence. I've learned that being present, even if it's not perfect or for a long duration, is a real gift. I've also realized that it's more important to be a soft place for my loved ones to land, rather than always trying to be the "strong one". I've learned to focus more on connecting rather than correcting, and to embrace hugging tight instead of holding back.

Another lesson I've learned is that healing is not a straight line. It can be a long and challenging journey, but it's definitely possible. I've experienced periods of intense pain and hopelessness, but I've also had moments of clarity and relief. I've learned to appreciate these moments and to remain hopeful and grateful throughout my healing journey.

Lastly, I've learned that it's possible to feel good even with chronic pain and illness. I'm on a mission to find ways to feel the best I can in this limited body and I'm passionate about sharing wellness and holistic health hacks with others who are in the same position.

I hope this gives you some insight into my journey. Is there anything else you'd like to know?
